Pregnant actress Jessica Alba has some words of wisdom for young girls who are in a relationship.

In a recent interview for CosmoGIRL magazine, which also features the actress on the cover page, Alba said that young girls should wait for at least a year before succumbing to their partners’ wishes.

"Most guys, especially when they're younger, really are only after one thing. To all the girls out there, I don't want to say, 'Don't give your heart to somebody like that,' But wait at least a good year,” People quoted her, as telling the mag.

“You can be in a relationship and do some things, have fun, get to know each other – but don't give them everything,” she added.

Addressing the issue more seriously, the 26-year-old actress cited her own example, saying that she also committed the same mistake as a youngster.

"That was something I did at a young age, fell in love and gave him my everything, and I was left with nothing,” she said.

“It took me a long time to put myself back together, and I wish someone would have told me back them to hang on to some of myself,” she added.

Spanish actress Penelope Cruz and sister Monica can be seen getting a little naughty in their brother Eduardo’s latest music video, Cosas Que Contar.

In the video, the sisters, who play sexy translators, are dubbing a lesbian scene from a film.

And as they watch the saucy footage, it turns them on for some similar naughty behavior, reports The Sun.

According to reports, the scene shows Penelope in various states of undress as she is kissing Monica.

Eduardo wanted his sisters' help to launch his pop career by getting the track publicized around the world.

Eduardo is obviously grateful for the promotion for the record which will come from such scenes featuring his sisters, and has commented that it was a dream come true seeing the two girls dancing together.

Penélope has commented that the song means a lot to her and that the melody is very special as it reminds her always of the day that the song was composed in Madrid.

The ‘heiress’ tag that comes with Paris Hilton may soon lose its weight, with the socialite’s grandfather having decided to give 97 per cent of his multibillion dollar fortune to charity.

Barron Hilton, whose net worth is currently estimated at 2.3 billion dollars, is reported to be unhappy with Paris’ lifestyle, and has announced that he would donate most of his wealth to the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation, named after his father who founded the Hilton hotel chain in 1919.

The foundation said that its chairman would place 1.2 billion dollars from the sale of Hilton Hotels Corporation and the pending sale of Harrah's Entertainment into a charitable trust to benefit the organization.

However, the decision is unlikely to hurt Paris financially, because of her own business ventures that are said to be very profitable.

“She is a celebrity in her own right,” Times Online quoted Matthew Miller, an editor of Forbes magazine’s “rich list”, as saying. Forbes estimates the former jailbird earned 7 million dollars last year from The Simple Life TV show, her perfume line, mobile phone games and appearances.

A German bar owner has got round a smoking ban by cutting holes in the wall so customers can stick their heads out to have a cigarette.

Michael Windisch, owner of the Maltermeister Turm bar and restaurant in Goslar, Lower Saxony, cut three holes next to tables in his restaurant after local authorities introduced the ban on smoking in all eating places.

Customers who want to smoke can stick their heads through the large holes and their hands through the other two so they can have a cigarette. A curtain has been mounted to keep out the cold.

Mr Windisch said that using the "smoking point," customers could put their heads through a large hole and their hands through two smaller side-holes, then legally enjoy a cigarette without having to go outside.

Windisch said, "Now my customers can legally enjoy a cigarette without having to leave the comfort of the restaurant."

Local media have claimed the idea is likely to catch on in other parts of the country where blanket bans in smoking in restaurants are to be introduced from the New Year.

Troubled singer Britney Spears' illusive behavior could lead her to commit suicide, a Beverly Hills analyst and addiction expert has warned.

Marty Brenner said that the 26-year-old star is living in a "bubble of illusion" which "could end in suicide" if she doesn't get help.

"She's losing it now, and she's going to eventually lose it altogether if she doesn't get the help she needs," the New York Post quoted Brenner, as saying.

Though Brenner has not treated Spears, he thinks that the singer's wacky weekend in Los Angeles, where she made numerous gas station bathroom stops and hooked up with a member of the paparazzi, was an extension of her psychological problem.
